Styles

Styles in Civil 3D are a very important aspect of the program, which control the look of objects.

Object styles control the display and layer of civil 3D objects.

The color, layer and the display behavior of an item greatly depends on its style. ig!re "#$ig!re"%show the same s!rface model with different styles active on the object.

&abel Styles control the display of te't associated with an object. ( label style controls what data from theobject is displayed, how many decimal places we see in n!meric val!es, if any static te't will be visible,how !nits will display and what layer it all goes on.

Alignents

Alignments describe the plan iew geometry of a roadway, stream or other linear design. Ciil !" excels at roadway

design. In the following example we will work with a roadway alignment and ad#ust a cure to comply with anAA$%&O design speed.

rofiles

"rofiles descri)e vertical data along the alignment stationing# 3here are two main types of profiles#

$1isting ground profile from surface

Assemblies

&ssem)lies descri)e typical cross-section geometry that will )e applied to our design# &ssem)lies contain

instructions to our design descri)ing how to daylight to the e1isting surface#

&ssem)lies are made up of parts called su)assem)lies# &s su)assem)lies come together' users can

control the configuration and geometry of the design#

=n the following e1ample' we will add one of the stoc0 assem)lies to the proCect and apply it to a corridor#

Corridors

(orridors tie together the pieces of our design into a three-dimensional model#

3he corridor is where additional instructions a)out the design is sent to (ivil 4%# e can tell the corridor

to switch geometry at a certain station or Cump to a different alignment for the design#
